If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

Gravity is usually presented as the most familiar of nature’s forces, the quiet background pull that keeps feet on sidewalks and planets in orbit. A growing group of physicists is now treating that ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Alex Chadwick talks Ira Flatow, host of NPR's Talk of the Nation Science Friday, about new examinations of the theories of Galileo and Isaac Newton relating to gravity. This is DAY TO DAY. I'm Alex ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

You might expect that, all these years after Newton, we might have a good measure of his gravitational constant, G. As the authors of a new paper on the topic note, there are plenty of reasons to want ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

I love sci-fi movies but hate it when the science is needlessly trampled by the fiction. There are no such problems in Alfonso Cuarón's immersive science-fiction action thriller "Gravity". The film ...

Canseco kicked off his bizarre tirade against gravity with a cryptic tweet on Monday. On Tuesday Canseco shared his theories on how gravity in ancient times was “much weaker” because how else could ...

Hey, how do you feel about gravity? Seems real, right? Knock stuff over, it falls down. But according to new research, that might just be because we all live in a holodeck. This requires some ...

With the astronaut flick Gravity dominating box offices and dinner table conversation, Science Friday brings in the experts to fact-check. In our first installment of "Science Goes to the Movies," ...

In this photo captured by a team from Virginia Tech, the moon's shadow on Earth during a total solar eclipse is captured from a high-altitude balloon April 8, 2024. The team is a part of the ...
